  • For the filling, in a large skillet heat butter and brown sugar over medium-low heat. Slice bananas on the diagonal and place into the hot pan. Cook 5 minutes per side or until bananas have caramelized. Remove from heat.
  • Mix cream cheese, sugar, vanilla and cinnamon together until combined. Spread an even layer of the cream cheese mixture over each slice of bread. Place bananas in a single layer on one slice and top with another slice of bread to create a sandwich. Repeat until there are 4 sandwiches created.
  • For the French toast, in a pie plate or other shallow dish, whisk eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon and salt together. Preheat a large skillet to medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Dip each sandwich in egg mixture right before placing into the hot pan to cook. Cook 2 minutes per side or until golden brown. Serve warm with butter and syrup.
